Owner's Description
One of the things that I really enjoy about Mary's covers is that you never have to remind yourself that RS is a badass - a big, strong, sword swinging badass. Here she's assisting some burly dude to hang on, whilst simultaneously hanging on herself by one hand. Plus that cliff face is drawn like a little bit of an overhang, and if you go rock climbing you know that's all just arm work holding them up there. That's one strong bitch. And I like that. I think the overall rendering is good - solid, if not terribly dynamic work from Mary - but that's part of the charm of her covers too. Clean lines, full backgrounds, solid compositions - a long way from the absolutely crazy compositions of Frank Thorne, and far better than her peers are doing in the current Conan books (looking at you Isherwood).
Overall? Boy I don't know. There's a lot I like about this cover as an adult, but I'm not sure there's anything there to really entice me to part with my hard earned 65 cents just based on the cover art.
